A USAID programme team - Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Finance (WASH-FIN) paid a courtesy visit to Uasin Gishu County, with an aim of helping in providing advise on water supply problems, in hand to financial aspects.
Governor Jackson Mandago's administration has purposed to connect at least 85 percent of households to piped water, in a charged campaign dubbed "last pipe connectivity".
The governor says "Every one either in urban or in the village will be bathing while standing."
Speaking during a courtesy visit to Deputy Governor Daniel Chemno's office on Monday, Ms Barbara Kazimbaya-Senkwe, African Coordinator to the Programme, noted the organizations' attraction to Uasin Gishu.
He said that they are highly committed to helping in terms of advise through identifying the best financial service providers, which will reduce the cost of establishing projects.
Chemno appreciated the organization's call saying they have come at the time when the second term's development bandwagon is ready to set off.
"We admit that we have water deficiency, but we assure you that before the end of our term, the entire County will have water. We are highly committed and we will deliver," said Chemno.
Also speaking at the meeting, County Executive in charge of Water, Ms Mary Njogu, noted the County's cooperation with ELDOWAS, saying that WASH-FIN's entrance to financial advise on the utility will highly improve the delivery of water.
"We have a lot of plans to the people of Uasin Gishu and among these plans is to expand water resources which will help us achieve one of our key agendas for this term," said Njogu.
Water and Environment Chief Officer Simeon Kemei highlighted that the department will largely work with WASH-FIN to ensure the collaboration brings forth good tidings in water provision.
